APFIVE Supporters of the People’s Party platform would have most likely agreed with which of the following arguments about government regulation of industry?
The primary focus of government policy should be on reducing taxes rather than intervening directly in industrial sectors.
Active government intervention in industries such as railroads and telegraphs was essential to protect the interests of common citizens against monopolistic practices.
Government regulation was only necessary in times of economic crisis and should otherwise remain minimal to encourage business innovation.
Leaving industries unregulated would naturally allow market competition to correct any imbalances without the need for government oversight.
